Song for today with tractor

Nice job Larry thank you :)
This has significance to our family and no better time to remember.
Thou my FIL did not serve in any active duty but he was extremely patriotic. The flags flew year round in our little valley and has prompted his children's families to carry on.
About 2 years ago after suffering from chronic liver and kidney failure we rushed him to the hospital for which would be his final day.
In a state of euphoric delirium after a young nurse in the emergency dept. informed us that he would getting moved to a regular room. He loudly and clearly stated
"God Bless America"
Before this he barely was able to mutter anything. For another hour or so he repeated this a few more times. At first we thought it was sarcasm toward the hospital but eventually we realized
he just proclaiming his love for country.
He did add a small bit of humor to our very solemn day. He waited that day until all of his direct family could be there to see him off. He somehow knew that all were present before he drifted off peacefuly.
"God Bless America" and "I love you" were his final words.
Today we will be honoring him and as well all those who have served, we've got a big Red White And Blue wooden sign that says God Bless America hanging for all to see and all the flags are flying. They are even hanging on an 860, 8N, and 3 Ford garden tractors that he left behind. That reminds me I'd gotta get one on my NH. (He didn't dislike my Kubota but sure was pleased when I got the NH)
My handle - He is the Grandpa and they were his Fords. He was Ford tractor dealer in the 70's,early 80's and worked for another until his retirement. Lots around here to remember him by.
Thanks for bringing this up for all of us to remember something special. I will be sharing your performance with my MIL as I am sure she will be delighted by it.
 
That sounded great Larry AND might I add You're looking great too, I'm so glad to see you up at the farm and on your tractor. Looks like you're getting better and feeling better all the time. Thanks for the song, Keith
 
Well done Larry, reminds me of Kate Smith who used to make an occasional appearance at the Spectrum in Philly for Flyer home games back in the day. She was quite a singer and that is a beautiful song. This video isn't the greatest by any means but it's one I could find on a Google search from the rink .....
